You can't tell me the rest came from Desert Storm / Vietnam?!
How many served post Desert Storm, but never deployed to Iraq / Afghanistan?
What am I missing here?!

You are assuming that to fie for PTSD one must be in a combat zone..
How UN-inclusive..

Perhaps the reason the VA is handing out PTSD diagnosis like candy?
Is there a plan to make vets a Democrat controlled hand-out class that can be relied upon to keep the gravy train rolling? It's worked pretty well for a large percentage of non-veteran citizens to keep voting D.

BINGO !!!!
Just another way for the Govt. to seize weapons from people who "know" how to use them.
Disarm the populace, especially the Veterans, and "we" become more docile.
Nothing but "Bread and Circuses" only with Govt checks and Obama phones.

I'm sure there are hundreds of thousands that are claiming PTSD that have never heard a rifle shot, or left a bases safety......
Want to put a kabash on the PTSD claims, have 5x Special Forces soldiers at PTSD therapy sessions.......
PTSD Fraud: "I saw soldiers killing babies, running them over with their military vehicles"
SF soldier: "Bullshit, you're a liar, get out."

The problem is that we have toadies that are claiming - and receiving - PTSD $$ by merely having run to bombproofs once when they where in the vicinity of a mortar or rocket attack. ONCE.....

I can beat that. We have a secretary that was a reservist that played the system and stayed activated for 5+ years and then had enough to retire. We just found out she has 90% disability. Now she has never left the US. She was a mortuary specialist and aft making E9 became a HR something. WTF. Most of that 90% is for PTSD..... She is a hateful person "Toxic" before she scammed her orders and she is back just the same. Hell we could fle for PTSD because of her. We are all shaking our heads as how she has gamed the military, the VA and our agency....

It seems like our whole society is centered around being a victim of some sort. It is the victim mentality. If you can get easy money that is more incentive to play the victim card.
What ever happen to "Just suck it up and get on with your life, you stinkin' crybabies." But that would be politically incorrect.

Agree with all the above. Saw first hand the PTSD frauds during ACAP. Buddy broke his back, 3 fused vertebrate, 25 yr vet, 30% disability. Some 4 year turd claimed PTSD got 100%. Team Sgt is dead on--will take vets to call this out. Too many parasites sucking the VA dry, screwing real vets that need it. Step daughter works claims for VA, confirmed that most are scammers. And Docs are afraid of calling BS. Any Ideas on how we fix this? Pisses me off to no end.

No way to collect "data" need to call out the scammers. But that is what needs to be done. Something we can do as vets is to assure physicians treating the scammers that some/most of the stories they hear from the scammers are in fact lies.
